Will Oldham (a.k.a Bonnie 'Prince' Billy) 'Lecture Two: Recording & Performing Songs'

For twenty-five years, Will Oldham has written rangy rock tunes, hushed folk confessionals, charming
country waltzes, and stormy piano ballads. He's an expert at paring down layers or building them up until the recording reflects the writing. "Recording is all about identifying and constructing a sonic reality that is seductive, sometimes perversely so," he says. "If you can get a listener comfortable with embedding a song into his existence, its strengths and intentions creep out over months and years." At Sound Pure, Oldham walks listeners through his recording process, playing selections from his catalog.
